THE DAFFODILS may be blooming but weather forecasters have warned of distinctly unseasonal weather across Scotland.

With the Highlands experiencing a dusting of snow, Scots were bracing themselves for more on the way.

Heavy snow and icy conditions are expected over the weekend in parts of the Highlands, Western Isles, Grampian and Tayside, with drivers warned to take extra care on the wintry A9, where snow had already settled at higher levels.
